Damaged Sewer Pipes Are To Be Relined

PARK FOREST — The Village Board on Monday night approved an $89,390 contract with Municipal Pipe Tool Co. for a sanitary sewer reconstruction project that includes lining sewer pipes that need repairs.

"This is one of the many steps required in order to bring the sewer system into compliance with the standards of the sanitary district in regard to inflow and infiltration," said Village Manager Janet Muchnik.

Department of Public Works director Ben Jordan said closed-circuit television inspection of sanitary sewers showed the need for the repairs. Through the inspection, the department learned that 3,053 feet of sanitary sewers at several locations throughout the village need repairs.
